Balance scale tipping toward a glowing Telegram phone with coins over grey web ad blocks — Monetag alternative for Telegram

Content owner: Adsun Editorial & Ad Operations Team · Last verified: 2026-10-18

Quick answer

Multi-channel networks such as Monetag serve many traffic types (web, push, popunder, smartlinks) and Telegram is one of them. A Telegram-first alternative like Adsun focuses on formats designed for Mini Apps and bots — opt-in rewarded ads, interstitials at natural breaks, task ads, sponsored bot messages and channel posts — with frequency controls that protect retention and USDT payouts. Test both on the same traffic and compare revenue per 1,000 requests and day-7 retention.

Key takeaways

Telegram-first formats usually fit Mini App UX better than web formats.
Judge networks on revenue per 1,000 requests and retention together.
Adsun covers Mini Apps, bots and channels in one account.
A/B test on a share of traffic before switching.

Multi-channel vs Telegram-first networks

Multi-channel networks bring broad demand and many formats built for the open web. Telegram-first networks build formats for Telegram’s interface and users, which tends to mean fewer intrusive formats and better control over when ads appear.

Why choose Adsun

Telegram-native reach: ads inside Mini Apps, bots and channel posts from one account.
Both pricing models: bid on CPM for reach or CPC to pay only for clicks.
Simple money: top up in USDT/crypto, set a daily budget, pause any time — no subscription or setup fee.
Targeting by country, language, device and Telegram Premium status.
Clear reporting: impressions, clicks, CTR, spend, CPM and CPC per campaign.
Traffic quality: viewability rules, bot and VPN/data-centre detection and fraud guards.
Two-sided: publishers earn USDT from Reward, Interstitial and Task blocks with server-verified rewards.
Real human support on Telegram (@ADSunSupport) and email.

Worked example

Hypothetical example — not real Adsun data

An advertiser spends $150 over 7 days on a CPC campaign. The ads get 120,000 impressions and 1,800 clicks (CTR = 1,800 ÷ 120,000 = 1.5%; CPC = 150 ÷ 1,800 ≈ $0.083). 540 users start the bot or join the channel (conversion = 30%), so cost per user = 150 ÷ 540 ≈ $0.28. 7 days later 380 are still active: cost per retained user = 150 ÷ 380 ≈ $0.39. Use your own numbers from the Adsun dashboard.

Adsun measurement methodology

Adsun counts an impression when an ad is rendered in a publisher block, a click when the user opens the ad destination, and a reward only after the server-to-server Reward URL confirms completion. Debug-mode traffic is excluded from billing and reports. Metrics are shown per platform, block and country in the partner and advertiser dashboards. Adsun does not publish aggregate network benchmarks in this guide; any number below marked “Hypothetical” is illustrative only. See the SDK documentation for integration details.
